WB is an unknown manufacturer... Do you have any other markings present on the laptop itself? (stickers, manual, model number, ...)

cheers,
Wim

I have looked all over the board but can't find any significant sign that mentioned what WD stands for which manufacturer

But it looks like it uses a fully-integrated board designed for laptop/notebook use. Not easy to find something then.

Or does your system not use a mobile Pentium 4 and a mobility Radeon ?

It isn't for laptop because all the layout for PCI and AGP slots tell me that it is more for desktop purpose. I have a Pentium 4 2.8GHz + 1GB Ram on it. It was given to me for free and so there aren't any disc nor manuals that I can trace back and find out the board manufacturer. The reason why I need to update Bios is bcoz if I don't do so, I cannot upgrade to WinXP SP2 (now it crash when I update to SP2). Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered and keep it for general purpose usage.

Kindly let me know if you have any updates. Apparently this is a very sticky case and I have tried various places still nobody can pinpoint which manufacturer this is.

Is it possible for you to make a photo of the board and publish that on the web somewhere or email it to me? We might be able to pinpoint a marking you missed and ID the board from there.

Hi,

Could you make some more pictures which are more zoomed in ? Maybe take the board out of the case again to also be able to make pictures of the back side of the motherboard.

Thx,
Wim

This BIOS has the following ID:

01/23/2006-SiS-661-6A7I4PRIC-00

Octek Rhino SIS661-M4E

So it's most probably not the same.

I might have hit the jackpot...

FYI, I have also updated photos (back of motherboard, and a picture that near the CPU states "MS661" which lead me to trace to the aotexin website) in my flickr account. i am not a HW expert but the board surely looks identicial to me.
